Though the game doesn't look too bad, well what little we saw of it in the trailer so far.

Can a mod please change the thread title to Sonic Boom? Wii U/3DS
Summary:
-Big Red Button (Wii U) and Sanzaru (3DS) are making the game. The two SKUs are different games in the same universe.
-Sonic Boom Wii U is what the info below pertains to.
-The game runs on CryEngine.
-Big Red Button is lead by Bob Rafei, a Naughty Dog veteran of the Jak & Daxter series and Uncharted 1. A lot of the team members also worked on Jak & Daxter and Ratchet & Clank.
-The Sonic Boom series as a whole is being run out of Sega of America as a fully Westernized version of the franchise, whereas Sonic Team in Japan is managing the Japanese based series. The concept actually started with the TV show (made in France) and then they decided to make games with Western devs to support that.
-While speed is an element in the game, it's not the main focus for the Sonic Boom series.
-Combat and "strong narrative" are major aspects of the game.
-While not an open world, the levels are notably more open to allow for more exploration based gameplay. They describe it as "a series of classic sandbox levels branching out into more levels in a spoke-like system".
-There is a "critical path" and also a lot of side content that you can do if you want to, similar to other open world/sandbox type games.
-The game director notes that his experience on Uncharted was part of their influence in making the game in a more action/adventure direction, and that the team is making a game they would want to play. However, they want to make sure it still feels like a Sonic game instead of just Jak or Ratchet with a Sonic skin.
-Each character has different special abilities which tie into both combat and exploration.
-They made Amy Rose a much bigger character in the game because they wanted there to be more strong female characters and also for the game to appeal to girls more. They also note "If she was to break out and have a game of her own you'd probably get an idea of what that would look like based on this game."
-Their goal is that each of the four characters feel unique gameplay wise and like main characters instead of just Sonic and a bunch of supporting cast.
-The game has 2 to 4 player co-op. I'm having issues finding it right now, but I believe I saw another preview that said the game features 2 player co-op for the whole campaign and some modes that support 4 player, but I could be wrong.
-The new main enemy is "darker and more foreboding than Eggman is."
-Sonic Team will still make games focused on speed that aren't part of the Sonic Boom series. These are being developed in parallel, so (Nirolak's conjecture) expecting annualization is not unreasonable.

The details from JR sound promising as I love PS2 era Ratchet and Jak II is my favourite platformer.
I dislike the design choices but I can see small touches that remind me of Jak II in there, but I'm not expecting it to play like that.
With the team developing it I imagine it'll be better than Lost Worlds.

Yeah Sonic Boom.
Western Developed. Sega is going to now have 2 "arms" making Sonic games. Sonic Team in Japan and there will be a "western dev" making Westernised Sonic games. In this instance, Big Red Button games who is made up of a few ex-Naughty Dog employees.

Could be a decent game, will probably get it for a Wii U.
Still this is a reminder why Nintendo should never go third-party.

Knuckles skips leg day and Sonic is a hipster ****** who'll have a fedora on by the end of the game for sure 
No buy, Awful character designs and speed isnt a focus....... so not a Sonic game imo.
Will wait for the real Sonic Teams PS4 & X1 game.

I actually think this will be a better game than Sonic Team's. But it's not really a Sonic game in essence.
Which I actually think is a good thing

"Multiplat" is a bit misleading.

I wouldn't have cared if they gave it a Wii U prefix (like the SSB thread) but it is on two Nintendo systems.

Kinda just looks like any 3rd person action platformer now, they've clearly taken away what Sonic was and are just looking to emulate the games that have done a formula right in the last 10 years. If you took out the Sonic characters and put the R&C one's in that trailer, you wouldn't blink twice.
How Sonic has turned into a focus on 'combat and story' has me boggled. Focus on what made the series amazing in the first place, not what it's never had a focus on before.

Sonic Generations was such a great game it's a mystery why they didn't try to emulate it in future games.
We don't have a 3DS prefix.
